      /Doctor Who/ returns to survive a questionable gimmick

Muscle car, meet Tardis

*August 30, 2011, OTTAWA --- * I feel almost shell-shocked.

After eight episodes of /Torchwood: Miracle Day/ 
<http://ed-rex.com/reviews/television/torchwood/miracle_day>, I had 
almost forgotten that a television program set in the Whoniverse can 
actually be fun, that it can /move/.

As a bonus, Steven Moffat has slipped a pretty major change into that 
universe's cannon, one likely to upset both traditionalists and racists 
alike.

Of course, it's not all roses. To my mind, Steven Moffat's /Who/ still 
suffers from a disregard for world-building and characterization that 
has been the sadly surprising hall-mark of his run as show-runner on the 
venerable franchise.

For the good, the bad, and the frustrating (with spoilers), /Let's Visit 
Hitler/ <http://ed-rex.com/reviews/television/doctor_who/lets_kill_hitler>.
